Love is a Gift

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of the MassMutual.

I'm not really sure how or why I got blessed with such a wonderful and loving family. I still can't believe my daughter is already seven years old! It seems like just yesterday I was holding her in my arms; trying to give her a bottle. And now she's homeschooled and learning so much so quickly! Everyday I am completely impressed by her and her abilities so much.

When I was a teenager, I personally never thought I would become a mom. But after I met my husband, the urge to have children grew like crazy! And finally we were able to have Mary. Now I can't imagine my life without her smiling face everyday.

Do you have someone that you feel like this about? Maybe a child of your own or a mother or brother? Then I encourage you to participate in the Love is a Gift initiative with MassMutual. Love Is A Gift encourages people to make a statement about the transformative power of love by sharing a picture of themselves with those who matter most to them, along with a brief explanation of their relationship. For every photo story uploaded to http://bit.ly/1vRvg4C or on public Instagram accounts using #LoveIsAGift, MassMutual will donate $1 to Easter Seals, up to $50,000. Here's how it works:

Find or take a picture of you and the people you love on your computer or mobile device.

Upload it to your personal Instagram account with #LoveIsAGift or to LoveIsAGift.com, adding a few words about your loved ones and why they matter most.

Note your Instagram account must be public for your #LoveIsAGift entry to be recognized and trigger a donation.

Once the photo is uploaded, participants can share their photo and details of the initiative with their friends on Facebook or Twitter.

Each upload will trigger a $1 donation from MassMutual to Easter Seals, up to $50,000.

I also encourage you to join me at the #Loveisagift Twitter Party on November 5 from 11am - 12pm EST. NOTE: The #LoveIsAGift Twitter party is separate from the Easter Seals social initiative. Please be clear that participants cannot upload a story to LoveIsAGift.com for a chance to win a Twitter Party prize.
